Pogba and Valencia not in Man Utd squad to face Tottenham

Paul Pogba and Antonio Valencia have not travelled with Manchester United’s squad for Sunday’s clash against Tottenham.

On Friday evening, Pogba’s family confirmed to Le Parisien that the midfielder’s father, Fassou Antoine Pogba, had passed away at the age of 79 after a long-running battle with illness.

Citing the Manchester Evening News, the Metro reports that Valencia was also not part of United’s travelling squad which took the train from Stockport to London on Saturday afternoon.

Mourinho has already confirmed that he will rest players ahead of their Europa League final against Ajax later this month, and Valencia misses out again after not being part of the side which lost to Arsenal last Sunday.
